Still no where near enough to lose his job.
The Colts secondary has been decimated by injuries...which though not an excuse for losing is certainly a reason.
As for the challenge flag ( I assume thats what you are referring too) that inevitably is a call made by the coaches in the booth who have a chnace to see replays long before the coach does....they whiffed on this one badly though, I will give you that. If you mean the timeout towards the end of the game...not sure that it made a big difference.
At any rate....Caldwell is Polians guy and was groomed for his current position all along, and as important he is Mannings guy. I simply see no possible way he is even remotely in trouble. His success is unprecedented in that no team he has ever coached on since entering the league has missed the playoffs.
i will say this though...one more year of going backwards and people will start bellowing for sure...then again I may be totally wrong and he is in hot water but I have neither heard nor read anything that indicates that.
